I could have sworn I saw a damage cap removal patch somewhere, I wanted to know if anyone here might know where it is. If I am crazy and this doesn't exist, I will make it myself. Just wanted to know before I put the time into making it.

Thanks, I knew it was somewhere around here. And thanks for the link about the 24 bit monster hp patch too, I will be using both of these in my hack. I am going to do something a little different with the damage cap tho. I'm going to use the unknown damage type bit that currently appears to do nothing act as a break damage cap bit, allowing me to only set up certain attacks to break the limit. Might also make a relic/weapon effect that allows breaking the cap or even a new status effect.
Thanks again!

Just try to balance the damage output. :3
Yeah, balance and 32k dmg dont really join hand-in-hand while tip toeing through tulips without a little convincing... Sorry, old very bad song referance there.
That being said, I played with this last night and, while very enjoyable to slap that many numbers on some critter stupid enough to attack you is fun, a serious overhaul of end game monster hp is pretty much required at this point. Old super Kefka gonna need a few mil hp to be a challenge...
Also, the bug fix for magic power 140+ overflow, if not already installed. I didnt test without it but I would imagine its still required? The readme file with this, while detailed, flows logically not numerically. About the only patch Ive installed so far actually using a patcher. Rest Ive mapped and done manually, in other words, not exactly sure where it goes.

The original plan was to only put it on a handful of abilities for offensive characters so that multi-hit moves aren't required for good damage output. The relic and status ideas are extra and will depend on balancing. My hack will have a harder late game, and very hard post-game. So no worries there. Maybe I will scale back the damage to 19,999 max.
